Thank you for dropping in on the Chandler Family Association web site. We welcome everyone who is interested in the Chandler name and genealogy, regardless of your particular origins. Our association was formed in 1991 and has grown to include almost 400 members from more than 35 states and some foreign countries.

Our web site is intended to provide information to those interested in Chandler genealogy, facilitate communications between our members, present news about our latest research efforts and assist researchers with their own unique challenges. Please let us know what we can do to be helpful to you.

Many of our members trace their lineage to John Chandler who came to this continent in 1610. However, whether you trace your ancestry to this John Chandler, a different Chandler line, or none of the above, you are welcome here. We are pleased to share our pride in our ancestry with you.
